Laugharrisment

The best of laughs is on ourselves
So there I am next to the Salton Sea
My road friend on the bed by me
We manage well Platonically
+
Its the wee hours I have to go
I do and flush and then you know
I sidle back to bed and oh!
+
A trembling phantasm comes
I blanch and wonder what I’ve done
Could I have ever been so dumb
+
But I caused no trembling
A 5.6 quake did the thing
How our anxieties take wing!
+
Margie and I we traveled on
We laughed, we talked, we joined in song
We sometimes speak of the Salton
